It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Musicians whose total "concept" you just don't get.

Two who come to mind for me are Murray Perahia and Simon Rattle. I just find their overall concepts foreign to my musical personality in different ways. Surprising with Simon because we were class-mates in the Royal Academy of Music so shared some degree of background. I find him all intensity and no grace and charm, and his dynamics lack range. Thinking about it, where do you find grace and charm these days……… Where is the modern day Beecham, Bruno Walter, Stoky, Ansermet……. He may be moving to the LSO and I find myself hoping he doesn't. I just don't get Perahia's phrasing at all.

Are there artists who you steadfastly and continuously just fail to resonate with?
